Stinging Nettle Root Extract can increase Free Testosterone or Free T levels by reducing SHBG. This is the T available to do the hard work like building muscle mass.
The whole stinging nettle plant has many healing properties, however only the root extract has an effect on Free Testosterone.
This extract of the nettle root is a concentrated 20:1 version. This simply means that 1 gram of extract contains the active ingredients of 20 grams of the nettle root.
Benefits of Stinging Nettle Root
Stinging Nettle Root Extract can increase Free Testosterone or FT levels. This is the T available to do the hard work like building muscle mass. This is the one we are after first and foremost.
Stinging nettle contains a substance called 3,4-divanillyltetrahydrofuran, which binds to SHBG, reducing the amount of SHBG available to bind to FT. Reducing SHBG can contribute to increasing FT.
Certain chemicals from stinging nettle (known as lignans) are the specific molecules responsible for its affinity to bind to sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) and increase FT. There is also evidence that stinging nettle reduces the conversion (aromatizing) of testosterone into into estradiol (the most potent form of estrogen) and other estrogenic hormones. This is a very important benefit as improvements in T levels commonly are lost to aromatisation into estrogen, delivering the opposite of the desired results!
Stinging Nettle Root extract has many other health benefits for men.
Dosage
Clinically effective dosage is about 1000mg or 1gram per day which is why we suggest 3x350mg caps daily.
Synergistic Mixes
*Please note these mixes may not have been scientifically proven yet, but are based on critical analysis of the available literature, anecdotal evidence and or personal experience.
Boron Citrate – effectively increases Free Testosterone or FT but through different mechanisms. Combining Stinging Nettle Root Extract with Boron Citrate may deliver exponential improvements in levels of FT.
Other Health Benefits
Stinging Nettle Root forms a part of an effective treatment for prostate enlargement and infection, very common in men. Consumption of Stinging Nettle Root may prevent the development of actual symptoms.
Stinging Nettle Herb – Drug Interactions And Warnings:
Stinging nettle contains vitamin K and so could interfere with the anticoagulant drug, warfarin (Coumadin). Stinging nettle can lower blood pressure, which means it could heighten the effect of blood pressure medications. Stinging nettle can act as a diuretic and may increase the effects of drugs that increase urination (diuretics). Because of its diuretic effects, stinging nettle may also affect the way the body eliminates lithium. It also can increase the effects of drugs for diabetes, possibly leading to low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).
